Weakness when you rest

I'm sorry, I can't remember if you tested positive for the AChR antibodies. If not, you should be tested for LEMS (Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome), because I've read that it sometimes acts this way. I suppose that even if you're AChR-positive, you might as well get tested for LEMS as well--I know that sometimes people have more than one type of antibody. But I think the Mary Walker phenomenon is a good guess, too.

Thanks all!
I do not really understand this Mary Walker phenomenon. Can someone explain it to me?

abby, yes I was tested positive for achr (and musk), not sure if I was tested for LEMS though.

I also wish that I could understand the Mary Walker phenomenon. I understand it to mean that when you use one muscle excessively, all the others turn to jello as well. I just can't understand why.

Oh but that's something familiar.
When calling (talking) not only my mouth and tongue get tired, my eye closes too.
When walking, I do not only get a funny, drunk walk and jello legs, I also get a weak diaphragm.
